Family Life: The total population of the area is 25,509 people, the area is very diverse in demographics.

In addition to being very diverse the population is also very new to America, aka new immigrants. With 25.1% of the population is foreign born, as opposed to the the nation wide statistic of 11.1% of people being new immigrants. There is also a relatively large population of people speaking English as a second language at home in this area, 38.5% as compared to the nation wide statistic of 17.9% of people speaking English as their second language. A large portion of the population is single as well, this includes divorced. Almost half of he population has never been married and including the divorce percentage of the population the single population makes up more that half of the population, 41.8% of the population has never been married and 10.1% are divorced. The married population only accounts for 38.2% of the population. These statistics are not as common place when one takes into consideration their high median family income, $52781 compared to the national average of $50046, as well as their high median household income, $42090 as opposed to the national average of $41994. This is odd as the % of single parent families is double the national average, 44% of the population were single parents as opposed to 22%. This leads to the conclusion that while there is a high rate of single parent families the families are making more that the average household, indicating a middle class society/ neighborhood.
